KA-BAR Ek EK50 Short Clip Point Fixed Blade Knife

Compact John Ek Heritage with Modern American Craftsmanship.

The KA-BAR Ek EK50 Short Clip Point Fixed Blade Knife brings together the legendary heritage of John Ek knife designs with the premium quality and precision manufacturing of modern KA-BAR. Compact, robust and purpose-built, the EK50 is ideal for campers, bushcrafters and collectors who appreciate classic American knife design in a practical, easy-to-carry format. Proudly manufactured in the USA using premium German 1095 Cro-Van steel, this discontinued model is a fitting continuation of the celebrated Ek legacy.

The 5-inch clip point blade is precision crafted from 1095 Cro-Van high carbon steel, renowned for its exceptional toughness, dependable edge retention and ease of sharpening. The versatile clip point profile provides excellent control for detailed cutting while offering ample strength for general campsite duties, woodland tasks and outdoor utility. Full tang construction gives the knife impressive rigidity and balance, ensuring reliable performance whenever it is called upon.

The ergonomically shaped Ultramid® handle scales provide a secure and comfortable grip without unnecessary weight. Engineered for durability and all-weather performance, the handle complements the knife's compact proportions, making the EK50 comfortable to carry and use throughout extended outdoor activities. Its balanced design makes it equally suitable for fine carving, camp preparation and general utility work.

A durable US-made Celcon® sheath is included, featuring MOLLE compatibility for convenient attachment to modern outdoor equipment, rucksacks and webbing systems. Now discontinued, the KA-BAR Ek EK50 Short Clip Point Fixed Blade Knife has become an increasingly desirable collector's piece, combining John Ek's timeless design philosophy with KA-BAR's renowned American craftsmanship.
